Graham Wallas turned from his study of the classics to political science. The son of an Anglican clergyman, he rejected the church but not Christian ethics. His moral concerns led him to Fabian socialism, and his acquaintance with Darwin's writings led him to the study of psychology. In 1908, he wrote Human Nature in Politics, a milestone in the development of modern political psychology. The present paper traces the development of Wallas's thought and examines the important intellectual influences on him. Emphasis is placed upon the impact of his Fabian colleagues, and particularly on his friendship with H. G. Wells
